Digifab at ISEC 2026

The European Green Deal’s Renovation Wave initiative has set an ambitious target: at least doubling the current building renovation rate to decarbonise the Union’s building stock. However, achieving this goal requires navigating a complex regulatory framework that spans multiple layers of governance, from EU-wide directives to highly localised building codes. For policymakers, industry stakeholders, and particularly SMEs, understanding this landscape is essential for strategic decision-making and innovation.

Laura Orfali Soria, Researcher at the KU Leuven (Katholieke Universiteit Leuven), Belgium, and DigiFab Partner, will participate in ISEC 2026 – 4th International Sustainable Energy Conference in Graz (Austria) at the Messecongress from 14 to 16 April 2026. 

The EU Regulation’s Role in Shaping Prefabrication for Energy Retrofit

During the event, Digifab will be showcased during a Lecture “Non-Technical Enablers Driving the Energy Transition” – 15 April 2026, 14:00 – 15:30, Hall 5

Dr. Laura Orfali Soria will present the abstract:
